In a statement, Oklahoma Hall of Fame President and CEO Shannon L. Rich said, “First and foremost, we want Carrie Underwood to know our thoughts and prayers are with her during her recovery. She exemplifies the very definition of an Oklahoma Hall of Fame Honoree and we are certain that she will be considered for future induction.”

Induction into the Hall of Fame is considered the highest honor an Oklahoman can receive. Since 1928 only 683 have been inducted, with Rich saying, “The recognition of our state’s greatest asset – our people – is the foundation upon which our organization was created.”

The 90th Oklahoma Hall of Fame Banquet & Induction Ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 16, at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City. In celebration of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame’s 90th induction ceremony, past inductees Vince Gill and Kristin Chenoweth will return home to serve as emcees.
